Been checking out PC's on e bay

I've found the right one I think but the bloke selling it (Barry's Emporium in Co Down!) has said I'd need to load the 998s map

Does anyone know where you can get these from or do they come with the PC???

or should I splash out on the FIM ecu!!

Thanks

you can download maps from the power commander website www.dynojet.com. Im not up on this sort of thing but the chip may be a better solution because that allows ignition adjustment aswell as fueling. Im sure someone else on the board will verify this.

Chris - you really need a bespoke map IMHO - which means using a proper dyno operator who can set the PC up for your actual 998. If you take the route of a downloaded map then it may not (most probably won't) match the needs of your bike H

Thanks Tricky

What's ignition adjustment???

(& you thought you weren't up on these things!)

[Chef]

Thanks Henners

If I buy one then that's what I'll do

I thought you needed a base 998s map as a starting point for the dyno runs - I'm guessing not now!

I mean timing, you can go so far with the fuel mapping but then to get more performance I believe you have to start playing with timing. Although I believe dynojet are releasing plug-in ignition modules for the PCIIIUSB soon.

I may have also got this all wrong as Im pretty new to the world of ducati.

I've got several maps, including the base map for the 998 if you want them. I'm pretty sure they're available for download though.
The USB models are capable of mapping each cylinder ala FIM and an ignition module will be available shortly. I think the combined price will be less than the FIM though??
Playing with the ignition though is definately a dyno operation.

If you're buying the correct PC, it should have the correct map preloaded.
The correct PC part number is 714-411. Don't get any other as the connections may be wrong, or the leads too short to fit correctly.
For instance, the 996 one won't work correctly as the 996 uses a different ECU and i think the TPS connection is different.

I've bought from Barry before - I think he's a copper who moonlights with a bit of performance goodies on the side??

He's a nice fella and was a good ebayer to deal with. I bought some ZX stuff from him.

I have bought from him, no problems at all.

If you are going to fit one get a map done for your bike, if you are in london a quick ride to Stevenage will do it.

They recently did a mates MILLE 04 (what ever they are) for £ 120.00
